cal advantage of any particular district; 
re that wubabers of vessels, from various 
other parts of the kingdom, assemble 
there, during the fishing-season, and en- 
joy by far the greater share of the profit 
derived therefrom. Nothing indeed can 
‘be more pleasing than to see the stir and 
bustle which the fishery (even on the 
contracted scale ch which it is now es. 
tablished) occasions, in the neighbour- 
hood of Wick, in consequence of ‘the 
numberof strangers who flock to it from 
the southern counties, when the herrings 
make their appearance... But when, in- 
stead of 50,000, the fishery 1s increased 
to the extent of 500,000 barrels and up- 
wards, {which there is every reason: to 
hope, under the protection of the new, 
fishery-board, will soon be the case,) it 
will then become an object of the most 
esscutial national importance, and well de- | 
serving of every possible attention and en- 
couragement that can be bestowed upon it.
